It's certainly possible, but what's more likely is that one is expressing its dominance over the other, or one of them isn't the sex you thought it was. It's hard to tell on young rabbits, and I've heard a lot of stories on here where the pet store got it wrong. Even a breeder I knew sold us a buck which she thought was a doe.
Check again. Flip them over and look for testicles on their lower bellies. Does only one of them have them? If so, the other one is probably pregnant, and it's time to start researching rabbit breeding. Separate the rabbits, and expect the babies 31 days after they first mated.

I think loads of animals have gay tendencies, watched monkeys doing it on a wild life program once. It's not that abnormal in the wild. Honestly it's true! Not just humping for dominance either. I have heard many scientists talking about it on programs and the comment about the penguins is correct too. They are not always homosexual but they are known to be, that's why they have not stopped reproducing.

But, actually, some same-sex birds do do it. So do beetles, sheep, fruit bats, dolphins, and orangutans. Zoologists are discovering that homosexual and bisexual activity is not unknown within the animal kingdom.
Roy and Silo, two male chinstrap penguins at New York's Central Park Zoo have been inseparable for six years now. They display classic pair-bonding behavior—entwining of necks, mutual preening, flipper flapping, and the rest. They also have sex, while ignoring potential female mates
Now who is going to argue with The National Geographic?

No, it's commom among many animals to mount in order to establish dominance. This can be any combination- male/female, female/female, or male/male. And don't think it's going to stop after one or 2 times. The pecking order will be challenged and need to be reestablished many times over the course of your pets' lives.

rabbits mount anything. People, other rabbits of whatever sex, inanimate objects... all it means is that they have raging hormones :-p Rabbits also mount each other for purposes of determining dominance, so it is not always a sexual thing.

No. When animals hump each other, they are establishing dominance. It's a pecking order thing.
Same thing when a dog humps your leg. The dog is trying to establish the position of alpha dog.

Haven't you seen a male dog do another male dog? I have! It is logical therefore to assume that also rabbits can be homosexual.

Homosexual behavior has been noted in penguins, whales, hamsters, birds....the list goes on.
